What r u wearing under Klim Freeride pants?

Under Armour 'long johns' and then snowpants. Ride with just this down below zero temps and NEVER gotten cold. If its a real cold ride I'll toss a midlayer fleece in there.
 
As with all of these guys, make sure whatever you choose it's moisture wicking. You're going to lose the most heat when you start to get wet. Cotton is the worst thing you could wear underneath..never dries until you take it off. There's nothing worse than the 5 o'clock chill when your riding home, the sun is setting at your back and your cold and wet. Klim Inferno or Everest pants would be a good choice, the Underarmour, or a good synthetic pant from a place like MEC or REI works pretty good too. I wear long socks (actually long dress socks) with shorts underneath here in the flatlands of Sask without problems.
 
riding shorts and knee pads

Might help to know your location, as they say, results may vary...
 
What are people actually wearing under the Klim Freeride pants? I know Klim says you have to wear the 2 speciality Klim layers under the pants for warmth. But what I'm looking for is a pair of pants to wear when mountain riding that are not big and bulky. Wearing 2 layers plus the Freeride pants sounds like it would defeat the purpose of trying to get away from bulky bibs. Any experiences welcome. Thanks.

Champion brand base layer (target), Special Blend fleece pants (snowboard shop)
Works great. :D
 
Aggressor pant under extreme bib...I've tested them at 0 degrees, and just a very slight chill, but warmed up fast on the ride in.
 
I wear only long johns (not cotton) under my Klim gear and a jersey for most the time. On the coldest midwest days I may have fleece pants and jacket but that is not the norm.
